Surrealitalia

Beyond the great beauty of Italy.

“Visiting a place, near or far, doesn’t mean to have been phisically there, but it means learning to live it.”

The country where i live is full of artistic and natural beauty. It is not hard to find a point of interest at every step i take.
All this beauty is a safety point, perhaps the only one that our country offers us. And for that, generally, people live it passively.
They feel safe in this small certainty.
They do not analyze it in its country context, but they live every place as it is.

“To believe is very dull. To doubt is intensely engrossing. To be on the alert is to live, to be lulled into security is to die.”
(Oscar Wilde)

And about this the author wants to play with the observer. Investigate aspects, places, sights and arts, going to match them with contrasts, views, compositions and distances.
Create a visual and visionary theme, sometimes with deformations and other technical stuff that make all this surrealist.
More and more till the end.

Traveling in our country let me to continuously question it and put on the table the certainties and to be able to continue analyzing.
Only through this process i feel more in touch with the country where i live and i also hope, through this analysis, to raise questions and thoughts in the minds of the beholder.
